Faktenblatt Umsetzungsverbund Raumklima: Ziele, Maßnahmen, Prozess, Ergebnisse und Ausblick, Beteiligte Institutionen.
Aktuelle Klimaszenarien für die Region Nordhessen und insbesondere für den urbanen Raum, sagen für die nächsten 30 Jahre signifikant mehr Sommertage mit deutlich gesteigerten Hochtemperaturlagen voraus. Je nach Standort kann sich dieser Trend aufgrund mikroklimatischer Einflüsse zusätzlich verstärken, was nicht nur das Klima im Außenraum von Gebäuden beeinflussen wird, sondern insbesondere auch das thermische Verhalten der Gebäude selber und damit die Gesundheit und Leistungsfähigkeit der Nutzer. Um diesen drohenden Auswirkungen zu begegnen, wurden im Rahmen des Teilprojektes „Auswirkungen eines veränderten Klimas auf die Behaglichkeit in Räumen“ (E2) technologische Konzepte entwickelt, die auch bei den zu erwartenden Klimaveränderungen einen ausreichenden Komfort innerhalb von Gebäuden ermöglichen.
A reestablishment of Fucus vesiculosus where it is locally vanished would be an indicator for improved water quality. Thus the Agency for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Areas of Schleswig - Holstein (LLUR) is thinking about opportunities to resettle F. vesiculosus. On behalf of RADOST project, the tolerance of early fucoid life stages towards thermal stress was analysed and after four days of thermal treatment a high percentage of the treated fucoid offspring survived. It might be that inside species genotypes exist which are less sensitive against future environmental changes.
Over the last decades, Fucus vesiculosus, an ecologically important macroalga in the German Baltic Sea, has shown a massive retreat from the deeper zones of its former distribution presumably due to low light co-acting with other potential stressors such as high temperature, fouling, and grazing. Global warming may increase abiotic as well as biotic pressures and exacerbate environmental conditions in coastal ecosystems. The present study focussed on the effects of single or subsequently combined stressors on survival and palatability of juvenile F. vesiculosus. Fucoid offspring were exposed to high temperature and/ or feeding pressure. Feeding preference of Idotea baltica was quantified in a pellet assay calculated as an odds ratio. High temperature significantly impaired the survival of juvenile fucoids. Neither single nor combined stress considerably influenced the feeding preference of I. baltica. Surprisingly I. baltica strictly avoided pellets with juvenile F. vesiculosus compared to adult F. vesiculosus. Avoidance tended to be less pronounced in juvenile fucoids previously stressed by high temperature. Obviously grazing does not induce anti-herbivore defence, but rather the young plants appeared constitutively well-protected against isopod feeding. These results contradict the prevailing opinion that juvenile F. vesiculosus is more susceptible to herbivore grazing than adult F. vesiculosus.
Innerhalb des RADOST-Anwendungsprojektes „Qualitätskomponenten zur Wasserrahmenrichtlinie – Bestandsunterstützung Seegras und Blasentang“ wurden von Coastal Research and Management (CRM) im Unterauftrag des Landesamtes für Landwirtschaft, Umwelt und ländliche Räume des Landes Schleswig-Holstein Untersuchungen zum Bestandsschutz und zum Wiederansiedlungspotential des Blasentangs durchgeführt. Aufbauend auf Vorarbeiten von CRM wurden die Möglichkeiten des gezielten Verpflanzens und damit die Wiederbesiedlung eines potentiellen Lebensraumes des heimischen Blasentangs auf wissenschaftlicher Basis untersucht.
Das für die Feldberegnung in Nordost-Niedersachsen verfügbare Wasser ist begrenzt, im Klimawandel wird der Wasserbedarf steigen. Daher sind Konzepte zur Schließung regionaler Wasserkreisläufe und zur Erhöhung der verfügbaren Grundwassermenge wichtig, um die Beregnung auch künftig zu sichern und Nutzungskonflikten mit anderen Wassernutzern vorzubeugen. Zur Erhöhung der regional verfügbaren Wassermenge wurden im Rahmen von KLIMZUG-NORD zwei Pilotprojekte umgesetzt.
Abstract
Water management and environmental protection is vulnerable to extreme low flows during streamflow droughts. During the last decades, in most rivers of Central Europe summer runoff and low flows have decreased. Discharge projections agree that future decrease in runoff is likely for catchments in Brandenburg, Germany. Depending on the first-order controls on low flows, different adaption measures are expected to be appropriate. Small catchments were analyzed because they are expected to be more vulnerable to a changing climate than larger rivers. They are mainly headwater catchments with smaller ground water storage. Local characteristics are more important at this scale and can increase vulnerability.
This thesis mutually evaluates potential adaption measures to sustain minimum runoff in small catchments of Brandenburg, Germany, and similarities of these catchments regarding low flows. The following guiding questions are addressed: (i) Which first-order controls on low flows and related time scales exist? (ii) Which are the differences between small catchments regarding low flow vulnerability? (iii) Which adaption measures to sustain minimum runoff in small catchments of Brandenburg are appropriate considering regional low flow patterns?
Potential adaption measures to sustain minimum runoff during periods of low flows can be classified into three categories: (i) increase of groundwater recharge and subsequent baseflow by land use change, land management and artificial ground water recharge, (ii) increase of water storage with regulated outflow by reservoirs, lakes and wetland water management and (iii) regional low flow patterns have to be considered during planning of measures with multiple purposes (urban water management, waste water recycling and inter-basin water transfer). The question remained whether water management of areas with shallow groundwater tables can efficiently sustain minimum runoff. Exemplary, water management scenarios of a ditch irrigated area were evaluated using the model Hydrus-2D. Increasing antecedent water levels and stopping ditch irrigation during periods of low flows increased fluxes from the pasture to the stream, but storage was depleted faster during the summer months due to higher evapotranspiration. Fluxes from this approx. 1 km long pasture with an area of approx. 13 ha ranged from 0.3 to 0.7 ls-1 depending on scenario. This demonstrates that numerous of such small decentralized measures are necessary to sustain minimum runoff in meso-scale catchments.
Differences in the low flow risk of catchments and meteorological low flow predictors were analyzed. A principal component analysis was applied on daily discharge of 37 catchments between 1991 and 2006. Flows decreased more in Southeast Brandenburg according to meteorological forcing. Low flow risk was highest in a region east of Berlin because of intersection of a more continental climate and the specific geohydrology. In these catchments, flows decreased faster during summer and the low flow period was prolonged. A non-linear support vector machine regression was applied to iteratively select meteorological predictors for annual 30-day minimum runoff in 16 catchments between 1965 and 2006. The potential evapotranspiration sum of the previous 48 months was the most important predictor (r2 = 0.28). The potential evapotranspiration of the previous 3 months and the precipitation of the previous 3 months and last year increased model performance (r2 = 0.49, including all four predictors). Model performance was higher for catchments with low yield and more damped runoff. In catchments with high low flow risk, explanatory power of long term potential evapotranspiration was high.
Catchments with a high low flow risk as well as catchments with a considerable decrease in flows in southeast Brandenburg have the highest demand for adaption. Measures increasing groundwater recharge are to be preferred. Catchments with high low flow risk showed relatively deep and decreasing groundwater heads allowing increased groundwater recharge at recharge areas with higher altitude away from the streams. Low flows are expected to stay low or decrease even further because long term potential evapotranspiration was the most important low flow predictor and is projected to increase during climate change. Differences in low flow risk and runoff dynamics between catchments have to be considered for management and planning of measures which do not only have the task to sustain minimum runoff.

Informationsblatt zur Entwicklung und Erprobung eines Nachbarschaftshilfekonzeptes für Pflegebedürftige.
Für geografisch große Teile Nordhessens ist ein allgemeiner Bevölkerungsrückgang prognostiziert. Aufgrund der Veränderung familialer Strukturen und der Bevölkerungsstruktur insbesondere in entlegenen, ländlichen Räumen, ist mit einem weiteren Rückgang der familialen Pflegekapazität zu rechnen. Diesem Krisenszenario wird vorausschauend eine Versorgungsstruktur in der Kommune entgegengesetzt. Diese soll in der Lage sein, beim Ausbleiben professioneller Hilfe die Versorgung von Bedürftigen zu sichern, bis das eigentliche Hilfesystem wieder greift.
